The Scribbled Cookbook

As you’re looking for holiday gifts this month, I wanted to share with you one of the coolest gifts I just got, from my Denver cooking friend Christine.

She sent me a cookbook, The Big Book of Appetizers, that she absolutely loves and has used so successfully for our swaps and cooking dates. Here’s the really cool part–It has Christine’s thoughts scribbled throughout, from “sinfully good, “great for football parties,” “don’t skimp on the poblanos,” and “we had these a lot on the patio this summer,” to “good grief, eliminate the work and use chicken breasts instead” and “always wanted to try this with you.”

What a great gift–a beloved cookbook enhanced by personal advice and thoughts. As I make the dishes, it’ll be like cooking together across the states!

About Alison J. Bermack

It all began when I was a child cooking with my dad, the kitchen a magnet for cooking and camaraderie, a refuge from adolescence. I spent countless hours chopping, sautéing and simmering my way through childhood. And now, with three kids of my own, I’m still chopping, but this time through their childhood and often with friends.
